destinystrings | The 13th Hour

Who: The Eleven
Where: Scorpio Ward
Summary: Boss Battle.
Warnings: NOT SAFE FOR WORK FLASH It also has some music (But there's a play button so no worries)

You all somehow found your way to the Scorpio Ward. Was it earlier today? Or just due to the fighting? Does it really matter?

Let's get to work.

[OOC - Alright so there are 3 groups. The creature is so large that they will need to attack from FRONT, LEFT and RIGHT sides to defeat it. Think of it as attacking three parts of a boss in a video game.

Above your tag, please make what your character is doing: ATTACK, SUPPORT SKILL, GUARD, ITEM, HEAL|STATUS SPELL. If your character is Attacking either by Persona or Item, please also add the type of attack it is (PHYSICAL, FIRE, WATER, etc). So a tag with someone using a water spell would have ATTACK | WATER on top. Once in a while Q, Ideo and Reiko will pop up with aid.

If you SWITCH Personas during a tag, please mark this as well. You can switch Personas during the tag no problem, but the last Persona used will be the one counted when the monster attacks.

Also IN YOUR FIRST TAG, PLEASE LEAVE ME AN OOC NOTE TO YOUR CHARACTER'S PERSONA CURRENTLY ON HAND. I will need this for the battle to know who is immune to what.

Keep your hands inside at all times, and please enjoy.]

"If you had a gun, why the hell weren't you using it earlier?!" Atsuro feels his own strength depleting slightly as he performs some quick mental arithmetic in order to determine the full efficacy of -- Alright, no, who was he kidding he had no idea how all the boosts and dispels balanced out. The only thing he knew for certain was that he still felt significantly more powerful than he had before, courtesy of Reiko's Matarukaja and his own 'Fire Charge'.

It seemed he was the only one with any useful attacks amongst the lot of them. From the looks of things, they needed to bring the enemy down fast. "Just calm down and -- " A flinch as the ridiculous-looking Santa Claus rushes towards him.

...But never reaches.

"Behold! Thou gazest upon the deepest anguish of thy heart with beclouded eyes. And thy answer... In thy powerlessness, thou seekest to inflict suffering just as great." The red-armored, metallic angel had appeared out of nowhere to catch the blow. Though seemingly unaffected, its stoicism masks the damage it had incurred. "Such is the weakness of man. Fear not; the LORD's grace shall prevail."

The Lord's grace apparently involves gliding forward with spear outstretched for battle. Atsuro breathes a sigh of relief as he allows Reiko and the Power to deal with the crazed Santa.

"Here goes...!"

Windows 8, activate! ...That is, Persona, go! There is a glint in the Persona's eyes this time as it appears; the keystrokes ensue with much more vigor and enthusiasm. A brief pause... and then -- a tremendous fire erupts underneath Skorpios.

He'd tried to aim back behind the abdomen, away from, er, Kaito's prison.

Santa felt a wash of reality wash over him as he came back to his senses and, along with his senses resurfacing, his Persona quickly vanished again. He took a good hard look at Skorpios and eventually shook his head - he'd have to make a note to kick himself later for actually falling for that one; there was no way that was Akane.

It did cross his mind to inform the others that he'd been cured; but that was probably obvious by the change in his actions; right? If not then fuck 'em they could figure it out in their own time. Meanwhile he would answer that question about his gun as if the answer was the most obvious explanation ever.

"Didn't I say I didn't want to attack that thing until it was totally ignoring us? Why the fuck would I shoot it before that happened?"

Kaito jerks, trying not to suffocate as the monster's huge tracts of land absorbed some of the shock of his attack. What now? What now? He pondered as he tried to think of something - ANYTHING to keep it from attacking.

...He groans one idea came up.

Guess he'll have to live with the risk of being seen as a pervert. The Vocaloid tries to find good leverage... and starts to rub his hands against her breasts to try to distract it.

God, he'll need a dozen showers after this.
